What to Eat at Five Guys How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Five Guys, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Ask first. Ask about the difference between the regular and Little cheeseburger before ordering, especially when buying for children.
Share fries. A small fries portion may be enough alongside a double cheeseburger, and one reviewer said a portion served two people.
Request peanuts. If you want peanuts while waiting, ask for them rather than assuming they will be offered automatically.
Watch pickup. Stay close enough to hear your order called; one diner said the seating area made it easy to miss the announcement.
Check fries. If combining classic and Cajun fries matters, confirm the order before leaving; one takeaway customer received classic fries instead.

Common Concerns
High pricing
Price is the clearest drawback: reviewers repeatedly describe the meal as expensive, including one who called a burger meal an absolute ripoff.
Inconsistent flavour
Some customers found the burger bland or tasteless, while another said the bun was dry and heavy.
Service lapses
Reviews include an unreceived order after a long wait and a complaint about being asked to leave a public area without explanation.
Food concern
One reviewer reported a severe stomach infection and alleged that rotten lettuce and vegetables were used; this is an individual customer report.
Heavy burger
A customer described the burger as notably oily, which may not suit diners seeking a lighter style.

The Bottom Line
Five Guys in Al Barsha is aimed at people craving a classic beef burger with plenty of control over the toppings. You can order a cheeseburger or double cheeseburger, add ingredients such as lettuce, tomatoes or grilled onions, and pair it with fries, a milkshake or a hot dog. The free peanuts while you wait are a small bonus, and the website supports pickup orders.
The strongest reviews focus on juicy, flavourful patties and fries served in portions large enough for two people. Milkshakes also have a loyal following. Families may appreciate the custom toppings and refillable Coke, although one reviewer found the regular and Little cheeseburger sizes confusing.
Price is the main decision point. A customer reported paying 48 AED for a Cheese Burger, while others described burger-and-fries meals as expensive or poor value. Food opinions are mixed: alongside enthusiastic praise, some diners reported bland burgers, a dry bun or an oily patty.
Service is often described as friendly and efficient, but there are also reports of missed orders, unclear handling of Cajun fries and one customer being asked to leave a public area without explanation. Check your order before leaving, and stay near the pickup area so you hear its call.
